tar
A Rust implementation of a TAR file reader and writer. This library does not currently handle compression, but it is abstract over all I/O readers and writers. Additionally, great lengths are taken to ensure that the entire contents are never required to be entirely resident in memory all at once.

0.4.4104 Jun 2024Release notes
Open source →There's only one notable change here, which is that
Header::Deterministicon Windows now uses the same timestamp
as is used on Unix. If this breaks your use case, please
let us know in #346Besides that, there's a few testing, documentation, and internal
cleanups. We're hoping to continue to merge PRs and address
issues; this release is small but is intending to maintain
momentum.Signed-off-by: Colin Walters [email protected]
